Flemish String Jig Help

[TacticalFate]

Meh, I just make the string a few inches longer than needed, guesstimate the second loop, and twist the string until I get my desired brace height, no fancy jigs needed.

I went ahead and made the jig.  It is not too fancy, just a 2x4 with finish nails nailed in.  I skipped predrilling.  There really is no need on a 2x4 with finish nails.  It turned out well.  Now I just need to order some B50 and serving and I will be in business.

Thanks guys,
Greebe

You can order back issues from PA.

I never saw the slightest use in these string jigs. I just measure the tillering string and add about 35 to 40cm when I cut the FF, dacron or whatever string material. I must add, that I splice the second loop in, that makes it easier for me to judge where it has to be placed. Plus I have some freedom to play with the total length of the string.
But that's just my way...

Do you individually cut each string an inch shorter so you have the tapered ends?
